And Now, Its Pile On Newt

OK, one thing that I have chosen not to do is endorse a Republican candidate for president this time around.
Because of that, I have been more clear-headed and not doing my own spin.
I saw the rise of Newt Gingrich. Oh yes, it is real.
And now that he has risen, it is time to turn on Mr. Gingrich.
Of course the leftywhore media has that built in. And there are conservatives that support, tacitly or openly, someone else other than the former Speaker of the House.
So, lets take it from those on the right not all that pleased by this slam of Mr. Gingrich against the former Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney via Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard:

Gingrich was responding to a statement by Romney earlier Monday on Fox News. Romney was asked if Gingrich should return the $1.6 million he earned for advising Freddie Mac. “Boy, I sure do,” Romney said. “He [Gingrich] was on a debate saying that politicians who took money from Freddie and Fannie should go to jail, which is outrageous in itself.”

In response, Gingrich said: “I would say if Governor Romney would like to give back all the money he’s earned from bankrupting companies and laying off employee’s over the years at Bain, I would be glad to listen to him.”

Well, from Mr. Barnes and my perspective, it seems like a bromide from, oh some "Occupiers".
But what it really is a populist sop. It is what a candidate does in a general election campaign. I do not think that Mr. Gingrich is going to Occupy Wall Street any time soon.
But it was a loose-lipped comment that is not so much a lefty bromide as one highlighting the fact that Mr. Romney is from wealth and he is not. In a weird way, it is kind of Mr. Gingrich running as the outsider a la Ronald Reagan in 1976.
And Mr. Romney is seen as the Gerald Ford, establishment guy. That is what I take away from the comment.
So, I do not think that this is something to hyperventilate about.
At the end of the day, if the nominee is Mr. Romney or Mr. Gingrich, I will fly to the nearest polling booth to vote for either one.
But I will never vote for Crazy Uncle Ron Paul, no matter what.
Yet it appears that on this, for sure, Glenn Beck has jumped the shark and said that he would vote for a third-party Ron Paul bid over Newt Gingrich in the general election.
Why? I get that he is a purist, but there is something called reality. The current field is what we have. Unless someone like a Sarah Palin can come in, we have to make a decision based on the announced candidates.
So, if Mr. Gingrich should be the Republican presidential nominee, Mr. Beck really believes that if Mr. Paul ran third party, it is better for the country? Or is it that it is better for Mr. Beck? I do not know. But again, Mr. Gingrich is much more preferable, many warts and all, to the current occupier of the White House.
That is what the primary is about. It is why this time, I want to take a look at all the GOP candidates. See what the voters really think. And right now, many are looking at Newt Gingrich. Not as the anti-Romney. But as the most conservative candidate that can win the general election.
So, look for more piling on from all against the new GOP front runner, Newt Gingrich.
